This run defense might be worse than Sutton's and now we don't have the pass rushing horses we used to.. The Pats will gash us on the ground.

What?
Dude, not even close.
This run defense is much better than last year's.
EVERY ****ING RUN last year got 5+ yards. That was what killed us. We still give up long runs too often, but we're done giving teams 2nd and 2 after an 8 yard run on 1st down. I don't care what the average YPC stats say. We're holding runners to less than 2 yards on a given carry far more often than last year. And that's important.
If Spags figures out how to ****ing stop giving up these 3rd and longs, we're going to be just fine.
